Crisis Management
We are happy to offer free consultations in the first instance to help establish exactly how we can help you.
Very often the first response given to a journalist can dictate the way in which a story unfolds. It is vital to get advice early to prevent an initial concern escalating into a full-blown crisis.
By combining legal advice with media consultancy we offer the very best protection to our clients.
We are happy to take on every aspect of the crisis from internal communications to acting as a spokesperson for businesses and clients.
Reputation Protection and Restoration.
Primarily our Reputation Protection is preventative. Our aim is always to prevent the publication or broadcast of unwanted stories.
However, very often we are approached after the initial damage has been done. We are experts in helping to restore our clients’ reputations. This can be done partly by cleaning up unwarranted publicity but also by putting in place a strategy to create positive PR.
Very often a seemingly negative spell of publicity can be turned into an excellent PR opportunity.
